  • the UE When the UE selects a radio access network (RAN) node to perform the registration process, it may not be able to know which network slices the current RAN node supports. There may be a situation where the RAN node selected by the UE does not support the network slice requested by the UE, that is, the target network Slices are not allowed by the network, thus causing the UE to access the wrong RAN node for registration, which in turn affects the subsequent service initiation of the UE and reduces the service experience of the UE. As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of the process interaction of the UE accessing the wrong RAN node for registration is shown. The specific process is as follows:
  • the S-NSSAI supported by the RAN node 1 is S-NSSAI#1, and the RAN node 1 reports the S-NSSAI#1 supported by the RAN node 1 to the access and mobility management function (access and mobility management function, AMF);

  • the AMF stores the S-NSSAI#2 supported by the RAN node 2;
  • the UE initiates a registration request to the AMF through the RAN node 1, and the registration request message carries the target network slice requested by the UE as S-NSSAI#2;
  • RAN node 1 forwards the registration request of the UE to the AMF;
  • AMF rejects S-NSSAI#2 because S-NSSAI#2 is not supported by RAN node 1;
  • the AMF sends the allowed NSSAI and the rejected S-NSSAI#2 to the RAN node 1;
  • RAN node 1 replies with a registration acceptance message to the UE, and forwards the allowed NSSAI, rejected S-NSSAI#2 message sent by the AMF to the UE.
  • the wrong RAN node is accessed and registered, thereby affecting the subsequent service initiation of the UE.
  • the relevant information of the network slice is not referenced for the selection of the public land mobile network PLMN and the selection of the cell, which may cause the UE to access the wrong cell, and the target network slice of which is not allowed. Therefore, it is very important for the UE to obtain the network slice information allowed by the current network.

背景技术Background technique
随着信息技术发展，对各类新业务以及应用场景不断涌现，这些业务对网络功能、连接性能及安全性等方面的需求存在很大的差别。如果利用单一网络去承载这些业务，将很难同时满足高带宽、低时延、高可靠性等需求。另外，为每种业务去单独新建网络又会带来巨大的成本。这就要求5G在具备灵活、可拓展性的同时，能够满足不同的业务需求。为此，5G通过端对端的网络切片(network slice)为用户提供定制化的网络服务，通过对网络资源的灵活分配、按需组网，在同一套物理设施上虚拟出多个具有不同特点且相互隔离的逻辑子网，来针对性地为用户提供服务。With the development of information technology, various new services and application scenarios continue to emerge, and these services have very different requirements for network functions, connection performance, and security. If a single network is used to carry these services, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability at the same time. In addition, creating a separate network for each service will bring huge costs. This requires 5G to be flexible and scalable while meeting different business needs. To this end, 5G provides users with customized network services through end-to-end network slices. Through flexible allocation of network resources and on-demand networking, multiple virtual devices with different characteristics are virtualized on the same set of physical facilities. Logical subnets that are isolated from each other to provide services to users in a targeted manner.
在现有协议中，关于公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，PLMN)选择、小区选择都未参考网络切片的相关信息，这样可能导致终端设备接入错误的小区，其目标网络切片不被允许，从而影响用户的体验。In the existing protocol, the relevant information of the network slice is not referenced for the selection of the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and the selection of the cell, which may cause the terminal equipment to access the wrong cell, and the target network slice is not allowed. , thereby affecting the user experience.

The terminal can be a mobile station (mobile station, MS), a subscriber unit (subscriber unit), user equipment (user equipment, UE), a cellular phone (cellular phone), a smart phone (smart phone), a wireless data card, a personal digital assistant ( personal digital assistant, PDA) computer, tablet computer, wireless modem (modem), handheld device (handset), laptop computer (laptop computer), machine type communication (machine type communication, MTC) terminal, etc.
随着移动通信技术的发展，各类新业务以及应用场景不断涌现，这些业务对网络功能、连接性能及安全性等方面的需求存在很大的差别。如果利用单一网络去承载这些业务，将很难同时满足高带宽、低时延、高可靠性等需求。另外，为每种业务去单独新建网络又会 带来巨大的成本。这就要求5G在具备灵活、可拓展性的同时，能够满足不同的业务需求。为此，5G通过端对端的网络切片(network slice)为用户提供定制化的网络服务，通过对网络资源的灵活分配、按需组网，在同一套物理设施上虚拟出多个具有不同特点且相互隔离的逻辑子网，来针对性地为用户提供服务。With the development of mobile communication technology, various new services and application scenarios continue to emerge, and these services have very different requirements on network functions, connection performance, and security. If a single network is used to carry these services, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability at the same time. In addition, building a new network for each service will bring huge costs. This requires 5G to be flexible and scalable while meeting different business needs. To this end, 5G provides users with customized network services through end-to-end network slices. Through flexible allocation of network resources and on-demand networking, multiple virtual devices with different characteristics are virtualized on the same set of physical facilities. Logical subnets that are isolated from each other to provide services to users in a targeted manner.
不同逻辑子网由单网络切片选择支撑信息(single network slice selection assistance information，S-NSSAI)来标识和区分，NSSAI是S-NSSAI的集合。不同载波频率(小区)支持不同的网络切片，例如，2.6GHz支持增强型移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)业务，4.9GHz支持高可靠低时延通信(ultra reliable and low latency communications，URLLC)业务。Different logical subnets are identified and distinguished by single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), which is a set of S-NSSAI. Different carrier frequencies (cells) support different network slices. For example, 2.6GHz supports enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services, and 4.9GHz supports ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) services .
UE选择无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点执行注册流程时可能无法获知当前RAN节点支持哪些网络切片，可能存在UE选择的RAN节点不支持该UE请求的网络切片的情况，即目标网络切片不被网络允许，从而导致UE接入错误的RAN节点进行注册，进而影响UE的后续业务发起，降低了UE的服务体验。如图1所示，出示了UE接入错误RAN节点进行注册的流程交互示意图。具体过程如下：When the UE selects a radio access network (RAN) node to perform the registration process, it may not be able to know which network slices the current RAN node supports. There may be a situation where the RAN node selected by the UE does not support the network slice requested by the UE, that is, the target network Slices are not allowed by the network, thus causing the UE to access the wrong RAN node for registration, which in turn affects the subsequent service initiation of the UE and reduces the service experience of the UE. As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of the process interaction of the UE accessing the wrong RAN node for registration is shown. The specific process is as follows:
110，RAN节点1支持的S-NSSAI为S-NSSAI#1，RAN节点1将其支持的S-NSSAI#1上报给接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)；110, the S-NSSAI supported by the RAN node 1 is S-NSSAI#1, and the RAN node 1 reports the S-NSSAI#1 supported by the RAN node 1 to the access and mobility management function (access and mobility management function, AMF);
120，AMF存储RAN节点1支持的S-NSSAI#1；120. The AMF stores the S-NSSAI#1 supported by the RAN node 1;
130，RAN节点2支持的S-NSSAI为S-NSSAI#2，RAN节点2将其支持的S-NSSAI#2上报给AMF；130, the S-NSSAI supported by the RAN node 2 is S-NSSAI#2, and the RAN node 2 reports the S-NSSAI#2 supported by it to the AMF;
140，AMF存储RAN节点2支持的S-NSSAI#2；140. The AMF stores the S-NSSAI#2 supported by the RAN node 2;
150，UE通过RAN节点1向AMF发起注册请求，注册请求消息中携带该UE请求的目标网络切片为S-NSSAI#2；150, the UE initiates a registration request to the AMF through the RAN node 1, and the registration request message carries the target network slice requested by the UE as S-NSSAI#2;
160，RAN节点1将UE的注册请求转发至AMF；160, RAN node 1 forwards the registration request of the UE to the AMF;
170，AMF拒绝S-NSSAI#2，因为S-NSSAI#2不被RAN节点1支持；170, AMF rejects S-NSSAI#2 because S-NSSAI#2 is not supported by RAN node 1;
180，AMF向RAN节点1发送允许的NSSAI，以及拒绝的S-NSSAI#2；180, the AMF sends the allowed NSSAI and the rejected S-NSSAI#2 to the RAN node 1;
190，RAN节点1向UE回复注册接受消息，并将AMF发送的允许的NSSAI，拒绝S-NSSAI#2消息转发至UE。190, RAN node 1 replies with a registration acceptance message to the UE, and forwards the allowed NSSAI, rejected S-NSSAI#2 message sent by the AMF to the UE.
上述过程中，UE选择的RAN节点1不支持S-NSSAI#2，其目标网络切片S-NSSAI#2不被网络允许，则接入错误的RAN节点注册，进而影响UE的后续业务发起。In the above process, if the RAN node 1 selected by the UE does not support S-NSSAI#2, and its target network slice S-NSSAI#2 is not allowed by the network, the wrong RAN node is accessed and registered, thereby affecting the subsequent service initiation of the UE.
在现有协议中，关于公共陆地移动网络PLMN选择、小区选择都未参考网络切片的相关信息，这样可能导致UE接入错误的小区，其目标网络切片不被允许。因此，UE获取当前网络允许的网络切片信息至关重要。In the existing protocol, the relevant information of the network slice is not referenced for the selection of the public land mobile network PLMN and the selection of the cell, which may cause the UE to access the wrong cell, and the target network slice of which is not allowed. Therefore, it is very important for the UE to obtain the network slice information allowed by the current network.
为了便于对本申请实施例的理解，对现有技术中的PLMN选择、小区选择过程进行简单描述。PLMN选择过程包括两种情况，一种是无先验信息的情况，另一种是有先验信息的情况，无先验信息和有先验信息的PLMN选择过程不同。应理解，现有技术中该先验信息是UE预先存储的PLMN信息，即指定的若干PLMN。有先验信息时，UE的非接入层(non-access stratum，NAS)指示UE的接入层(access stratum，AS)去检测给定的PLMN，并判断该PLMN下是否有能够驻留的小区，没有的话则检测下一个PLMN。In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the PLMN selection and cell selection processes in the prior art are briefly described. The PLMN selection process includes two cases, one is the case without prior information, and the other is the case with prior information. The selection process of PLMN without prior information and with prior information is different. It should be understood that in the prior art, the prior information is the PLMN information pre-stored by the UE, that is, several designated PLMNs. When there is a priori information, the non-access stratum (NAS) of the UE instructs the access stratum (access stratum, AS) of the UE to detect a given PLMN, and determine whether there is a PLMN that can reside there. If there is no cell, the next PLMN is detected.
1)无先验信息情况下PLMN选择过程包括：1) The PLMN selection process without prior information includes:
步骤一：UE开机；Step 1: Power on the UE;
步骤二：UE确定通用无线通信***(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System，USIM)卡中无PLMN先验信息，即没有上次使用的PLMN的保存信息；Step 2: The UE determines that there is no PLMN prior information in the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (USIM) card, that is, there is no storage information of the PLMN used last time;
步骤三：UE的AS自动在全频范围内或者按照非接入层NAS的指示检测满足一定条件的小区，即信号强度较强的小区，例如，主公共控制物理信道(primary common control physical channel，PCCPCH)接收信号功率(received signal code power，RSCP)，或参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)大于或等于-84dBm的小区；上述RSCP和RSRP统称为接收信号功率。Step 3: The AS of the UE automatically detects a cell that meets certain conditions within the full frequency range or according to the instructions of the non-access stratum NAS, that is, a cell with strong signal strength, for example, the primary common control physical channel (primary common control physical channel, PCCPCH) received signal power (received signal code power, RSCP), or reference signal received power (reference signal received power, RSRP) is greater than or equal to -84dBm cells; the above RSCP and RSRP are collectively referred to as received signal power.
步骤四：AS读取上述信号强度较强的小区支持的PLMN的标识；Step 4: AS reads the identity of the PLMN supported by the cell with the stronger signal strength;
步骤五：AS将信号强度较强的小区支持的PLMN的标识上报至非接入层(non-access stratum，NAS)；Step 5: The AS reports the identity of the PLMN supported by the cell with stronger signal strength to the non-access stratum (NAS);
步骤六：NAS从信号强度较强的小区支持的多个PLMN中确定PLMN。应理解，NAS确定完PLMN后还可以发送停止指示信息给AS，使AS停止检测。Step 6: The NAS determines the PLMN from the multiple PLMNs supported by the cell with strong signal strength. It should be understood that after the NAS determines the PLMN, it can also send stop indication information to the AS, so that the AS stops the detection.
2)有先验信息情况下PLMN选择过程包括：2) In the case of prior information, the PLMN selection process includes:
步骤一：UE开机；Step 1: Power on the UE;
步骤二：UE确定USIM卡中有PLMN先验信息，即存在上次使用的PLMN的保存信息；Step 2: The UE determines that there is PLMN prior information in the USIM card, that is, there is the storage information of the PLMN used last time;
步骤三：UE的NAS按照先验信息指示AS检测满足一定条件的小区，即信号强度较强的小区，例如，PCCPCH RSCP或RSRP大于或等于-84dBm的小区；Step 3: The NAS of the UE instructs the AS to detect a cell that meets certain conditions according to the prior information, that is, a cell with strong signal strength, for example, a cell with a PCCPCH RSCP or RSRP greater than or equal to -84dBm;
步骤四：若AS检测到符合先验证信息的且信号强度较强的小区，AS读取该小区支持的PLMN的标识；Step 4: If the AS detects a cell that conforms to the first verification information and has strong signal strength, the AS reads the identity of the PLMN supported by the cell;
步骤五：AS将符合先验证信息的且信号强度较强的小区支持的PLMN的标识上报至NAS；Step 5: AS reports to the NAS the identity of the PLMN supported by the cell that meets the first verification information and has strong signal strength;
步骤六：NAS从符合先验证信息的且信号强度较强的小区支持的多个PLMN中确定PLMN。应理解，NAS确定完PLMN后还可以发送停止指示信息给AS，使AS停止检测。Step 6: The NAS determines a PLMN from a plurality of PLMNs supported by a cell that conforms to the first verification information and has strong signal strength. It should be understood that after the NAS determines the PLMN, it can also send stop indication information to the AS, so that the AS stops the detection.
PLMN选择结束后，NAS根据选择的PLMN，指示AS在该PLMN覆盖的小区中进行小区选择。小区选择过程也分为两种情况，一种是无先验信息的情况，另一种是有先验信息的情况。现有技术中该先验信息是预先存储的小区参数信息，例如载波频率信息、先前接收到的测量控制信息或先前检测到的小区的参数信息。有先验信息时，NAS指示AS按照小区参数检测满足一定条件的小区。无先验信息时，UE需要全频范围内检测满足一定条件的小区。After the PLMN selection ends, the NAS instructs the AS to perform cell selection in the cells covered by the PLMN according to the selected PLMN. The cell selection process is also divided into two cases, one is the case without prior information, and the other is the case with prior information. In the prior art, the prior information is pre-stored cell parameter information, such as carrier frequency information, previously received measurement control information, or previously detected cell parameter information. When there is a priori information, the NAS instructs the AS to detect cells that meet certain conditions according to the cell parameters. When there is no prior information, the UE needs to detect cells that meet certain conditions within the full frequency range.
目前，UE能够获取到的网络切片信息都是跟踪区域(tracking area，TA)或者注册区域(registration area，RA)粒度的，其中一个RA可以包含若干TA，即获得的是一个TA或RA范围内所有无线接入网设备允许的网络切片的集合。At present, the network slice information that the UE can obtain is in the granularity of tracking area (TA) or registration area (RA), and one RA can contain several TAs, that is, the obtained information is within the scope of one TA or RA. The set of network slices allowed by all radio access network devices.
本申请实施例提出了一种小区选择的方法200，可以避免终端设备选择的小区不允许其目标网络切片，从而提高用户体验。The embodiment of the present application proposes a method 200 for cell selection, which can avoid that the cell selected by the terminal device does not allow its target network slice, thereby improving user experience.
如图2所示，出示了本申请实施例的一种小区选择的方法200的流程交互图。As shown in FIG. 2 , a flow interaction diagram of a method 200 for cell selection according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
210，无线接入网设备向第一核心网设备发送该无线接入网设备支持的网络切片或者该无线接入网设备控制的不同小区分别支持的网络切片。该无线接入网设备为第一区域范 围内的网络设备，即该无线接入网设备可以为至少一个TA的区域范围内的网络设备，也可以为至少一个RA的区域范围内的网络设备。第一区域范围内的无线接入网设备可以为一个或多个，则可能有多个无线接入网设备向该第一核心网设备发送其支持的网络切片或者其控制的不同小区分别支持的网络切片信息。其中，无线接入网设备可能为基站或其他无线接入网设备；第一核心网设备可以为AMF，也可以为其他核心网设备。210. The radio access network device sends, to the first core network device, network slices supported by the radio access network device or network slices respectively supported by different cells controlled by the radio access network device. The radio access network device is a network device within the first area, that is, the radio access network device may be a network device within the area of at least one TA, or may be a network device within the area of at least one RA. There may be one or more radio access network devices within the scope of the first area, and there may be multiple radio access network devices sending to the first core network device the network slices supported by them or supported by different cells controlled by them respectively. Network slice information. Wherein, the wireless access network device may be a base station or other wireless access network device; the first core network device may be an AMF or other core network device.
若无线接入网设备发送的是其支持的网络切片，则表示该无线接入网设备控制的不同小区都支持该网络切片。例如：无线接入网设备控制小区包括小区1、小区2和小区3，无线接入网设备支持的网络切片为S-NSSAI#1，则小区1、小区2和小区3都支持网络切片S-NSSAI#1。若无线接入网设备发送的是其控制的不同小区分别支持的网络切片，则每个小区支持的网络切片可能不同，每个小区都有其支持的网络切片。If the radio access network device sends the network slice it supports, it means that different cells controlled by the radio access network device support the network slice. For example, if the cell controlled by the radio access network equipment includes cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3, and the network slice supported by the radio access network equipment is S-NSSAI#1, then cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3 all support the network slice S-NSSAI#1. NSSAI #1. If the radio access network device sends the network slices supported by different cells it controls, the network slices supported by each cell may be different, and each cell has its own network slices.
可选的，无线接入网设备向第一核心网设备发送的可以是该无线接入网设备支持的网络切片或者该无线接入网设备控制的不同小区分别支持的网络切片。Optionally, what the radio access network device sends to the first core network device may be network slices supported by the radio access network device or network slices supported respectively by different cells controlled by the radio access network device.
220，第一核心网设备接收无线接入网设备发送的该无线接入网设备支持的网络切片或该无线接入网设备控制的不同小区分别支持的网络切片。220. The first core network device receives a network slice supported by the radio access network device or a network slice supported by different cells controlled by the radio access network device and sent by the radio access network device.
230，第一核心网设备向第一终端设备发送网络切片信息，该网络切片信息包括在第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备或不同小区分别允许或支持的网络切片。该网络切片信息可以是第一终端设备发起注册请求之后，该第一核心网设备回复该注册请求时发送给第一终端设备的，也可以是承载在其他数据包中的。允许的网络切片信息用于指示第一终端设备在当前第一区域范围内可以使用的网络切片。支持的网络切片信息用于指示在当前第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备或不同小区分别支持的网络切片。应理解，小区允许的网络切片是指该小区支持的网络切片与终端设备订阅过的网络切片的交集。若第一核心网设备向第一终端设备发送的是在第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备或不同小区分别支持的网络切片，则第一核心网设备还向第一终端设备发送了在第一区域范围内所有无线接入网设备或小区允许的网络切片的集合。230. The first core network device sends network slice information to the first terminal device, where the network slice information includes network slices respectively allowed or supported by different radio access network devices or different cells within the first area. The network slice information may be sent to the first terminal device when the first core network device replies to the registration request after the first terminal device initiates the registration request, or may be carried in other data packets. The allowed network slice information is used to indicate a network slice that the first terminal device can use within the current first area. The supported network slice information is used to indicate network slices respectively supported by different radio access network devices or different cells within the current first area. It should be understood that the network slice allowed by a cell refers to the intersection of the network slice supported by the cell and the network slice subscribed by the terminal device. If what the first core network device sends to the first terminal device is network slices that are respectively supported by different radio access network devices or different cells within the first area, the first core network device also sends the first terminal device The set of network slices allowed by all radio access network devices or cells within the first area.
基于本申请实施例的技术方案，第一核心网设备给出了基于无线接入网设备或小区的更小粒度的允许的网络切片信息。Based on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the first core network device provides smaller granularity of allowed network slice information based on radio access network devices or cells.
以第一核心网设备向第一终端设备发送的网络切片信息是在第一TA区域范围内不同基站允许的网络切片为例。如图3所示，出示了本申请实施例的无线接入网设备粒度下允许的网络切片示意图。假设在第一TA范围内支持的网络切片集合NSSAI为：S-NSSAI#1、#2、#3、#4、#5、#6、#7，其中网络允许第一终端设备使用的网络切片为S-NSSAI#1、#2、#3、#4；假设基站1支持的NSSAI为S-NSSAI#2、#3、#6、#7，基站2支持的NSSAI为S-NSSAI#1、#2、#3、#5，则基站1允许的网络切片为#2、#3；基站2允许的网络切片为S-NSSAI#1、#2、#3。即，无线接入网设备允许的网络切片为在第一TA范围内允许的网络切片与该无线接入网设备支持的网络切片的交集。Take for example that the network slice information sent by the first core network device to the first terminal device is a network slice allowed by different base stations within the scope of the first TA area. As shown in FIG. 3 , a schematic diagram of network slicing allowed under the granularity of a radio access network device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. It is assumed that the network slice set NSSAI supported in the first TA range is: S-NSSAI #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, where the network allows the network slices used by the first terminal device S-NSSAI #1, #2, #3, #4; Suppose the NSSAI supported by base station 1 is S-NSSAI #2, #3, #6, #7, and the NSSAI supported by base station 2 is S-NSSAI #1, #2, #3, #5, the network slices allowed by base station 1 are #2, #3; the network slices allowed by base station 2 are S-NSSAI #1, #2, #3. That is, the network slice allowed by the radio access network device is the intersection of the network slice allowed in the first TA range and the network slice supported by the radio access network device.
可选的，第一核心网设备向第一终端设备发送的网络切片信息可以是在第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备允许的网络切片信息，也可以是在第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备支持的网络切片信息。当第一核心网设备发送的是在第一区域范围内无线接入网设备支持的网络切片时，第一终端设备可以根据第一区域范围内允许的网络切片信息确定该无线接入网设备允许的网络切片。同理，第一核心网设备向第一终端设备发送的网络切片信 息可以是在第一区域范围内不同小区允许的网络切片，也可以是在第一区域范围内不同小区支持的网络切片。当第一核心网设备发送的是在第一区域范围内小区支持的网络切片时，第一终端设备可以根据第一区域范围内允许的网络切片信息确定该小区允许的网络切片。Optionally, the network slice information sent by the first core network device to the first terminal device may be network slice information allowed by different radio access network devices within the first area, or may be different wireless access network slice information within the first area. Network slice information supported by the access network device.

The second preset condition may be that the PCCPCH RSCP or RSRP is greater than or equal to -84dBm, in other words, the first terminal device The AS detects cells with strong signal strength in the full frequency range;
步骤二：第一终端设备的AS将接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区对应的小区标识以及支持的PLMN发送至所述第一终端设备的NAS；Step 2: the AS of the first terminal device sends the cell identifier corresponding to the cell whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold and the supported PLMN to the NAS of the first terminal device;
步骤三：NAS根据第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息确定允许该目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识或小区的标识；若第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息中只包括第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备允许的网络切片，则NAS只能确定允许该目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识；若第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息中包括第一区域范围内不同小区允许的网络切片，则NAS可以确定允许该目标网络切片的小区的标识。Step 3: The NAS determines the identity of the radio access network device or the identity of the cell that allows the target network slicing according to the network slicing information sent by the first core network device; if the network slicing information sent by the first core network device only includes the first Network slicing allowed by different radio access network devices in the area, the NAS can only determine the identifier of the radio access network device that allows the target network slice; if the network slice information sent by the first core network device includes the first area range network slices allowed by different cells in the target network slice, the NAS can determine the identity of the cell that allows the target network slice.
步骤四：NAS将接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区对应的小区标识与允许该目标网络切片的小区的标识相同的小区确定为目标小区；Step 4: The NAS determines the cell with the same cell identifier corresponding to the cell whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold and the cell with the same identifier of the cell allowing the target network slice as the target cell;
可选的，若第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息中只包括第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备允许的网络切片，NAS可以将接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区中对应的小区标识包含的无线接入网设备标识与允许所述目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识相同的小区确定为目标小区。具体而言，小区标识的长度较无线接入网设备的标识的长度要长，通过小区标识的前几位可以确定出控制该小区的无线接入网设备的标识。应理解，目标小区可能为一个或多个。Optionally, if the network slice information sent by the first core network device only includes network slices allowed by different radio access network devices within the first area, the NAS may assign the corresponding cells to the cells whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

Optionally, the NAS may also determine the first PLMN according to the historical usage, and the first PLMN may not have the highest priority among the multiple PLMNs supported by the target cell.
应理解，同一无线接入网设备或者同一小区在不同PLMN下允许的网络切片可能存在差异。因此在步骤五中，NAS可以对目标小区支持的PLMN做进一步的筛选，筛选出的允许该网络切片的PLMN，再从筛选出的PLMN中确定优先级最高的PLMN为第一PLMN。It should be understood that the network slices allowed by the same radio access network device or the same cell under different PLMNs may be different. Therefore, in step 5, the NAS can further screen the PLMNs supported by the target cell, select the PLMNs that allow the network slicing, and then determine the PLMN with the highest priority from the screened PLMNs as the first PLMN.
实现方式二：Implementation method two:
步骤一：第一终端设备的非接入层NAS根据第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息确定允许该目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识或小区的标识。若第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息中只包括第一区域范围内不同无线接入网设备允许的网络切片，则NAS只能确定允许该目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识；若第一核心网设备发送的网络切片信息中包括第一区域范围内不同小区允许的网络切片，则NAS可以确定允许该目标网络切片的小区的标识。Step 1: The non-access stratum NAS of the first terminal device determines, according to the network slicing information sent by the first core network device, the identity of the radio access network device or the identity of the cell that allows the target network slicing. If the network slice information sent by the first core network device only includes network slices allowed by different radio access network devices within the first area, the NAS can only determine the identifier of the radio access network device that allows the target network slice; if If the network slice information sent by the first core network device includes network slices allowed by different cells in the first area, the NAS may determine the identity of the cell that allows the target network slice.
步骤二：NAS向AS发送允许该目标网络切片的无线接入网设备的标识或小区的标识；Step 2: the NAS sends the identifier of the radio access network device or the identifier of the cell that allows the target network slicing to the AS;
步骤三：第一终端设备的AS在全频范围内检测接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区，其中，第二阈值可以为-84dBm，也可以是其他数值；换言之，第一终端设备的AS在全频范围内检测信号强度较强的小区；Step 3: The AS of the first terminal device detects cells whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold within the full frequency range, where the second threshold may be -84dBm or other values; in other words, the first terminal device's AS detects cells with strong signal strength in the full frequency range;
步骤四：AS将接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区中对应的小区标识与允许该目标网络切片的小区的标识相同的小区确定为目标小区。例如，接收信号功率大于或等于第二阈值的小区包括小区1、小区2、小区3和小区4，在第一区域范围内允许该目标网络切片的小区包括小区2、小区4和小区6，则可以将小区2和小区4确定为目标小区。Step 4: The AS determines a cell whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold and has the same cell identity as the identity of the cell that allows the target network slice as the target cell. For example, if the cells whose received signal power is greater than or equal to the second threshold include cell 1, cell 2, cell 3 and cell 4, and within the scope of the first area, the allowed cells of the target network slice include cell 2, cell 4 and cell 6, then Cell 2 and Cell 4 may be determined as target cells.

The cell identity that contains the radio access network device identity that is the same as the identity of the radio access network device that allows the target network slicing is determined as the target cell.
步骤五：AS将上述目标小区支持的PLMN信息发送至所述NAS，该PLMN信息可以是一个目标小区支持的PLMN信息，也可以是多个目标小区支持的PLMN信息的集合。Step 5: The AS sends the PLMN information supported by the target cell to the NAS, where the PLMN information may be PLMN information supported by one target cell, or may be a set of PLMN information supported by multiple target cells.
步骤六：NAS根据目标小区支持的PLMN信息确定优先级最高的PLMN为第一PLMN。可选的，NAS也可以根据历史使用情况从多个PLMN中确定第一PLMN。Step 6: The NAS determines the PLMN with the highest priority as the first PLMN according to the PLMN information supported by the target cell. Optionally, the NAS may also determine the first PLMN from multiple PLMNs according to historical usage.
应理解，同一无线接入网设备或者同一小区在不同PLMN下允许的网络切片可能存在差异。AS上报的目标小区支持的PLMN可能是该目标小区支持的所有的PLMN，因此在步骤六中，NAS可以对AS上报的目标小区支持的PLMN做进一步的筛选，筛选出的允许该网络切片的PLMN，再从筛选出的PLMN中确定优先级最高的PLMN为第一PLMN。It should be understood that the network slices allowed by the same radio access network device or the same cell under different PLMNs may be different. The PLMNs supported by the target cell reported by the AS may be all PLMNs supported by the target cell. Therefore, in step 6, the NAS can further screen the PLMNs supported by the target cell reported by the AS, and select the PLMNs that allow the network slicing , and then determine the PLMN with the highest priority from the filtered PLMNs as the first PLMN.
